5) Consider the following circle
x + y = 25
Find the slope of a line tangent to this circle at A(-2, -4.58).
A)-.76 B)-.56
C)-0.87 D) -0.44
The Answer is D
P18 C2 NCEES Ref manual CBT Version
Point A is located on the circle. This is a very special case.

So the tangent to the circle must pass from A on the circle. But the tangent to the circle
is perpendicular to the radius of circle at the point of tangency.
If slope of line tangent to the circle is M and slope of AC (C is the center of circle) is m then:
m×M = -1, but
C (0,0) center of circle & A(-2, -4.58).

(4x + 40x) + (5y + 40y) + 160 = 0
4(x + 10x) + 5(y + 8y) + 160 = 0
4(x + 10x + 25) − 100 + 5(y + 8y + 16) − 80 + 160 = 0
( ) ( )
4(x + 5) + 5(y + 4) = 20 + =1

A) -8 B) 4 C) 7 D) 6
The Answer is D

(keywords: Straight line)
Step1: Let (a, -a) is the coordinates of C.
Step2: Length: AC = (x − x ) +
(y − y ) = (a − 5) + (−a − 6)
Length: BC = (x − x ) + (y − y ) = (a + 2) + (−a − 3)
Step3: AC = BC
(a − 5) + (−a − 6) = (a + 2) + (−a − 3)
a − 10a + 25 + a + 12a + 36 = a + 4a + 4 + a + 6a + 9

What are the next two roots
A) -0.384, 2.61 B) -1.876, 2.61 C) 1, -2,61 D) 0.384, 2.61
The Answer is D
Obviously if a number whether positive or negative is raised to the power of even number, the
results become positive. If a negative number is raised to the power of an odd number the result
is negative. When a negative number is multiplied by a negative number we get positive, so
none of the answers can be negative and both must be positive. For this equation to become
zero, both roots have to be positive so -3x3 and -3x remain negative. The only answer with both
being positive is D

38). A 10-lbf ball has a circular motion on a horizontal surface with the speed of 4 ft/s. If
the radius of the circle is 1 ft, determine the normal component of the total force acting
on the ball.
(A) 2.95 lbf
(B) 40 lbf
(C) 160 lbf
(D) 4.96 lbf

(Key words: normal and tangential kinetics for planar problems)
Step 1: Set the normal and tangential directions, and plot the free body diagram and the
effective force diagram
Step 2: Apply the equation of motion in the normal direction

39) In the illustration, the two pulleys and the horizontal surface are frictionless. The cord
connecting the masses m and m is weightless. At time t=0.6sec, the acceleration of
m is 4m/s what is the acceleration of m at this instant? Assume the system is
released from rest.
A) 8m/s B) 4m/s
C) 2m/s D) 9.81m/s
The Answer is A
P68 C2 NCEES Ref Manual cbt Version
Step 1: Since the length of the cord is constant and taking the pulley center as reference
point we can get
+2 =
Step 2: Taking two time derivative of displacement

we get the acceleration
+2 =0
= −2
Step 3: Substituting for =4 / we get
4
= −(2) = −8 /
The minus sign shows that the acceleration of A is in the opposite direction of the
displacement and since we’re concerned with the magnitude then take the absolute value
of

40)What value of capacitance will cause the circuit shown below have a resonant
frequency of 2 MHz?( L = 5μH R=8 Ω )
A) 5.4 μF B) 7.6 nF C) 3.4 nF D) 1.26 nF
Answer is (D)
We assume that you do not know anything about resonant frequency. We take resonant
frequency as a keyword from body of the question and type on your search box and press
find. Then you can see the following equation which shows the relationship among
resonant frequency, C, and L.
Now we only plug in the values in the formula.

L = 5μH and f0=2 MHz
